INTERNATIONAL ART AND SOUL - CHALLENGE NO 4 - EMBOSSING

Good afternoon blog friends - this fortnight our theme over at the International Art and Soul Challenge is 'Embossing', now that can be dry embossing or heat embossing or ....... a mixture of both! Simply put, you decide!!!

I asked the maestro to take a picture of the card slightly opened so that you could see the inside and also the flowers - I love the way you can make these petals stand out - especially the 'outline' open ones.

I actually made two of these cards because I loved the colours and the design so much, the only difference being the sentiment. I made the first one into an anniversary card and then made this one.Ingredients7" x 7" White Pearl card blank - Anna Marie DesignsSentiment - Tattered Lace Stamps (embossed with silver emb. powder)Tattered Lace - 'Quilted Cushion' Embossing FolderSpellbinders Dies - 'Devine Floral' (middle of the card) dieLe Crea' Multi Dies - Flower 006 dieTattered Lace Dies - Paradise Ferns dieCreative Expressions Dies - Delicate Daisies die (open and complete petals)Blue, Green, Lilac card - stashPearls - ancient stashHope you can join in with us over at IntAAS, we've not had too many entries just lately which is such a shame, Jane Bradshaw, our 'big cheese' really does her best with design and info on our blog.

About Me

I have been crafting since I was very small and started making my dolls clothes when I was 8. I have been married to my hubby for 47 years and even made my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. I still have the pattern - and the dress. We have had cats all our married life but we lost Ebony in January 2012 and Misty in February 2012. A huge feral cat used to own us but sadly, he died in August 2012. He was such a character for a feral cat and, even though we couldn't touch him, we knew he sort of liked us! We decided we wouldn't take on any more pets but in March 2013 a female cat and her 'husband' started living in the garden and despite being ignored they wouldn't leave so ... in short.... they both adopted us and they have now been neutered and chipped and once again we have fur babies! In 2015 an abandoned long haired puss adopted us and he's gorgeous! I will never know how they knew we would take them in - perhaps it's the large tattoo on our foreheads saying 'MUG'!! We wouldn't swap them for the world though.
